Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless)

Testing

Scythe state that the Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless) has an accuracy tolerance of +/- 2 degrees Celcius, which is a little less accurate than the Kama Thermo at +/- 1 degree Celcius. In order to assess its accuracy, I will be verifying the Kama Thermo (Wireless) temperatures with a digital thermometer and taking a few random temperature readings to see how it performed.

The results of my testing has been included below:

Observations

As we can see the Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless) handles the temperature testing quite well and all measured temperatures fell within the specified accuracy tolerance of +/- 2 degrees Celcius. Interestingly, for the last test (ambient) the Scythe Kama Thermo (Wireless) managed to record the ambient temperature when according to Scythe it shouldn't have been able to. Well done Scythe!

Yeah I agree. The older wired version had a lot more uses as far as measuring temps within your chassis, and the older Kama Thermo was able to be installed relatively easily. The new wireless version does away with all that and merely becomes a hand held digital thermometer. Thanks for the feedback Quote
